West Side Outdoor Range Recommendations?

I was a member there about 9 years ago. I really, really wanted to like it because it’s close to me. The President at the time came across as really over-the-top. I only ended up going a handful of times because the 3-second rule made most handgun practice a waste of time. The place has so much potential, so hopefully it’s gotten better and can continue that trajectory.

That guy is gone. And yes, I know exactly who you mean.

We have plans to improve the range by building up the berms, and replacing the steel pistol traps with larger dirt berms. This would allow shooting at all berms with any caliber instead of limiting the two close ones to handgun-only. Whether that will go anywhere toward the Three Second Rule, I don’t know.

I’ll be blunt. We need new blood to get more changes made. You’re right- the potential is there.

New blood and new rules. If you only allow one shot every 3 seconds, you are going to turn off a LOT of potential new members. I mean, you cant even practice double taps with that rule! And the Mozambique would be RIGHT out.

Let me guess, no drawing from a holster, either?

Not anymore.
